Last week, Sunderland AFC updated supporters regarding the displacement of personalised bricks located in panel eight on the East Stand.
This is due to a brand-new stadium store opening at Black Cat House this summer and the subsequent relocation of the Club’s ticketing operation.
Further information relating to these developments is available here.
Our internal records estimate that 447 supporters will be affected by this and more than 180, who we thank for their support in this process, have already been in touch via email.
The Club also has postal addresses on file from the point of purchase for all of the fans impacted and we have matched over 100 of these to our current email database.
For the supporters we have been unable to match via our current email database, or who have not contacted the Club, we will be sending out a physical mailer to the address provided at the point of purchase.
Although many fans may have moved house since these bricks were purchased more than 25 years ago, we hope this will enable us to reach as many of the fans affected as possible.
Understandably, we will unfortunately not be able to locate all of those impacted directly and we are therefore encouraging fans to spread the word.
In June, the Club will invite the fans affected to the Stadium of Light to present the new location of their personalised bricks.
In the meantime, if you believe you or someone you know has a personalised brick located in panel eight, it would be greatly appreciated if you could please reach out to the Club as soon as possible.
If you believe your brick may be located in panel eight, an image is available here.
To get in touch, please email panel8@safc.com, or visit the Stadium of Light ticket office, which is now located at the stadium store.
